To those asking about optimizations. In the AMA, the devs stated that they did increase the CPU core usage, but that GPUs were still not utilized fully. They also stated that they will add these features into the next beta weekend.

Had my 2500k @ 5Ghz, and 6970 @ 920/1350. (8.970.0 April 18th drivers)
1 core had 80% average while rest had 20-30% usage.
Vsync on, dipped down to 55fps in one area, else it was at 60 whole time with 55-60%gpu usage(vsync) graphics slider set to max.

This was MUCH better than BWE1
My wifes amd system with a gtx460 was running much better, playable actually! (301.42 drivers)
BWE1 her computer was choppy as all heck lol, still could be better on her system though.

Tomorrow im going to downclock the cpu and see how it runs.
Hard to tell if this game is coded to run 4 threads or what, we need some CPU graphs of 6 and 8 threads.
